Literary Analysis
Here are some links to a more scholarly approach to various texts and canons, famous or not so famous.
For all the Tolkien fans out there, and I do not mean the movie, but the books themselves. Some links here provide more serious discourses into his works, which are indeed very interesting philologically and historically, especially in the study of myths and ancient tales. Bear in mind that not all the information here are comprehensive nor scholarly. I hope to include more original scholarly essays as when I find them or as I do my own.
